"Max, I can't walk anymore." I stopped walking and tried to catch my breath. I sighed and perched down, my hands squeezing the sides of my aching waist.
"What the hell? You only walk for like what? ... Ten minutes!" he exclaimed and shook his head disappointingly from side to side at me.
"Well, what do you expect from me?", I whisper-yelled at him and crossed my hands over my chest out of annoyance.
I could hear him running after me, so, I quickened my pace but alas."Shelly", he uttered once he reached me and seized my left shoulder to turn me around.
Someone squeezed my shoulders from behind and I whirled around to hug Max real tightly but when he wrapped his arms around my waist, I felt a weird feeling, like my gut feeling was telling me that something was wrong. This feeling. This smells like danger. No it can't be what I'm thinking it is. My eyes widened in shock when recognition dawned on me.This isn't Max!This stranger seized the sides of my waist a little too tight. Not a little. Too tight. I immediately unwrapped
"You've been loving me since ninth grade?" I tried to whisper calmly but my heart was jumping around like a mentally disturbed person who just escaped from a mental asylum.Max loved me since so long and I was so clueless about it.'That'sbecausehenevertoldyou,idiot!'
"Ah", someone screamed out loud. What the hell is that?I groaned at the sudden noise. Who decided to intrude my beauty sleep? I was enjoying my dark chocolate cake in my dreams but someone had to ruin my moment, right? Like seriously, I will kill this person.I was about to turn around since I was lying on my stomach and face the intruder but the latter jumped on me and sat on my butt, making it impossible for me to even move my body. Hell! This person weighed more tha
"Max!" I cried out of fright and quickly got up."Max!" Aubrey gasped and stumbled on her own feet again. This girl is so clumsy. She was staring blankly at Max, with her mouth and eyes wide opened like a goldfish. I turned back around to look at Max who was staring back at Aubrey like a deer caught in headlights.How the hell did he get here? Haven't my parents seen him entering through the main door? They would have never let Max come up in my room so early in the morning e
"Aubrey,seriously?" I asked in disbelief.She has always pushed away all the guys who would come to me to ask me out on a date. Yeah! That's how she is and not just by being present in front of me like my bodyguard but also by having the talk. I believe her talk is much more mortifying than her stand as my bodyguard."What, girl? It's for your safety!" she deadpanned and rolled her eyes at me.
What the hell is happening?!!"Hey - ummhp" Max pressed his left palm on my mouth, cutting me off completely while hiding my face in his chest."Shush, baby! I know you can't watch x-rated movies. I'll tell you when it will be over." Max cooed and caressed my hair like he's soothing a little baby.I sl
"What? Uh.. I mean,yes?", Alex asked annoyingly at first but then, realized the situation that he was currently in and lowered his voice and responded meekly."Never ever look at -"Dad!" I cried and shook my head when he glanced at me but then, his eyes flew across from me when someone cleared his throat. Max!
Shelly’s point of view; I slowly opened my eyes and found myself lying on the floor. My head somehow aches. I was just about to get up but I couldn't. It was then that I realized that my hands and feet were tied up with ropes. I pushed myself up and leaned my back against the cold wall. I looked around but could barely see anything. It was dark and only the beam of the moon penetrating through the window served as my light from where I was.
I looked past my right shoulder and frowned. No way! I did hear someone approaching. I'm hundred percent sure that someone has been following me since I left school. I turned back around and quickened my pace. I gulped hard and speedily walked while skipping once in a while to get away.Why? Just why did I have to stay back at school to revise for my upcoming exams? Why? It's so dark out here and that stupid Max did not even come to fetch me. He left me alone to fend for myself and who was making big big talks about protecting me. Protection, my foot! I mean, who even needs protection? I'm fine by myself, yeah right. See, I'm even wandering around i
"I'm home!" someone screamed and then boom.Is that my bedroom door? Whatever!I groaned while wondering lazily and continued on dozing off, like a retarded person. I snuggled more in my bed sheets, hugging my little cushions tightly. This is heaven. I was too tired, groggy and sleepy to turn around to look at the person who decided that disrupting my beauty sleep was such a good idea. I sighed softly in my pillow and fidgeted a little bit to get a better position. I was spra
"So?" Max smirked at me once the movie was over."So, what?" I looked at him wearily while he leaned down to kiss me."Stop it." I giggled and pushed him away.If you're wondering what is happening right now, let me just fill you in about what we've done for the last few hours. After deciding that we r
I loosened my arms from around his neck and pulled apart but he embraced me once again, this hug lasting even longer than the first one."Max? What's wrong?" I asked him softly.He only tightened the hug in response and exhaled slowly while keeping his chin on top of my left shoulder. I leaned more into him, feeling the need to comfort him all of a sudden. I pressed the side of my face to his and sighed in relief. It feels great, being held in his arms like that. I wish I cou
"What the hell was that, Max?" I whisper yelled as soon as I got into my bedroom.I threw my school bag on the bed and twisted around to face Max. He had a forlorn look on his face while he shook his head negatively at me. When I raised an eyebrow questioningly at him, he sighed dejectedly and looked down.Feeling my temper rising, I stomped towards him, my two hands clenched tightly by my sides. Max glanced up worriedly when he heard my advancing steps, his eyes widening in
Why am I being such a coward?No, compose yourself, Shelly.I opened my eyes when I heard Blake snorting in disbelief, almost like he was laughing at me.YouhaveMaxwithyou,Shelly.
I'm really not liking this talk but what can I do?"H-He is my classmate and also my... neighbour?" I explained but it came out sounding more like a question."Okay..." he trailed off slowly while still pondering on whatever he was figuring out in his mind."So, can I go?" I asked while jutting my righ
After giving the police officers a long statement about the incident, I swallowed my fear and walked outside. I squeezed my school bag tightly in my arms and followed the officers towards their cars."Come on, I'll drop you at home." one of the sturdy big officers kindly offered while opening the passenger door for me. Judging by his appearance, he was probably in his early twenties. He was the only one who looked like he could have been in college. Now that I think about it, how can a young guy like him be in charge of such a dangerous case? Well, that's not really my business. I mean like just look at his body. If you would look at him from behind
